Ace culture is not realizing that that song is about sex (this applies to far too many songs)

Do you ever just…

Want to just BE somewhere SO freaking bad

But CAN’T yet

So you pretty much INHALE all the information you can 

Every Tumblr post, YouTube video, book, TikTok, website, etc.

So that it FEELS like you’re there

But not quite

But now you feel like you know everything there is to know about it

And you’re worried that you’ve ruined it for yourself

Because now maybe it won’t be as exciting or quite as good as you imagined it would be

When you finally get there

IF you finally get there

And you slowly run out of new places to absorb information about it

So now you’re back to waiting

And now you have to find something new to obsess over in the meantime

If someone says that they don’t support BLM or Pride, because “everyone should be treated equally” and “it’s not equal if they get special privileges”, are they racist/homophobic?   I just got into a big fight with my parents about this. My dad voted for Trump, is white & straight, and works in business. But he gets mad when I call him racist/transphobic/misogynistic, etc because he “doesn’t care what other people do” so long as it doesn’t affect him.  My mom is an independent, hated Trump, and is more liberal than my dad, but she has a lot of the same views as my dad. She doesn’t support feminists because she believes they’re all “men-haters” that would make fun of her for choosing to be a stay at home mom, she says “all lives matter”, and when I told her my friend was bi, she said she had to discuss if I was allowed to sleep over at her house anymore! Even though she came out like 5 years ago to me and nothing weird has happened. Wtf, Mom. She also told me that she’d be fine if I was a lesbian but she’d “prefer” if I wasn’t because it would be “easier” for her. And one time she mentioned that her aunt was never married or even dated, so I said, “maybe she’s ace or aro” and she said, “what’s that mean” and as I told her, she interrupted me and said, “I don’t have room in my brain to learn any of theses new words.” Huh, Mom. I don’t remember you saying that when I told you about a cool new animal or invention I told you about.

Is this a Gen X thing? Like, they just want to ignore anything that doesn’t affect them and they cannot deal with change? Because I’m pretty sure this is the mindset of a lot of adults I know.

I work at a French café, and the owners are from France, so they have fairly heavy accents. Today, right as I walked in the door, my boss greeted me by saying, “Hola! Cómo estás?” 

And my brain just…couldn’t comprehend what was happening and I stood there gaping at him for a solid minute, like:
